Welcome to Immortality
and Beyond. May I offer you a drink?
How about a Moonlight Margarita?
BK: When did you first
realize you wanted to be a writer?
I
think I've always known! Telling stories is just a part of who I
am—it always has been.
BK: Please tell us a
little bit about your current release...
Scorch
is the fourth and final book in my Midnight
Fire Series
and I am SO excited to share it with you! The series follows Kira as
she discovers exactly who and what she is after powers thought
dormant awaken inside of her. And in this final installment, Kira
lays it all on the line as time runs out, forcing her to choose
between two very different lives and two very epic loves.
BK: What inspired this
particular novel/book?
I've
always loved vampire lore (what up, Buffy!) and I've always known I
wanted to write a book that somehow involved vampires. But I never
knew what it would be until I was walking on the beach, lost in a
daydream, and it suddenly hit me—the sun! Magical beings who fought
vampires by channeling the sun! Once that idea came to fruition, the
story just flowed out of me.
BK: How do you keep your
writing different from all the others that write in this particular
genre?
I
wrote the story that I really wanted to write and hoped that people
would love it! I created new powers and new societies, but mostly I
hoped my characters would be the difference. As long as readers
connected to Kira and felt every emotion that she did, I knew I
couldn’t go wrong.
BK: What was the hardest
thing about writing this story?
Since
Scorch
is the last book in the Midnight
Fire Series,
the hardest thing about writing it was fighting the anxiety that I
would let my readers down. There's always that self-doubt when
writing—what if people hate it?!—but especially with this book.
So many fans have reached out expressing their love for my story and
my characters, and I wanted to give them an ending that will leave
them happily satisfied—not disappointed. And I really think I
succeeded!
BK: Which character was
your favorite to write for in this story? Why?
Kira!
She's a kick-ass heroine who is strong and defiant, but also
vulnerable and uncertain. And I loved telling her story.
BK: Will this become a
series? If so, what inspired it to be a series? OR If it is a series,
what inspired it to become a series?
The
story was just too long for one book! And I love a good series :)
BK: Now for a little
fun, and into your everyday life, What is a day in your life like?
I
wish I could say something glamorous, but my life is BORING! I wake
up, go to my awesome day job, come home, and then write—my latest
book, a Facebook shout-out, a blog post, a tweet, an interview…
Somehow I squeeze dinner and the infrequent workout in too!
BK: What do you like to
do when you're not writing?
Read!
Or work on my photography! Or… guilty pleasure… watch all of my
favorite reality television shows while eating a pint of Häagen Dazs
ice cream!
BK: What is one thing
your readers would be most surprised to learn about you?
I'm
a complete goody two-shoes! I actually get anxiety from breaking the
rules. Maybe that's why my main character Kira is so rebellious… I
was indulging!
BK: What do you like to
read? Who is your favorite author?
Anything!
I love paranormal romance, historical fiction, epic fantasy,
chick-lit—anything that sucks me in! Some of my favorite authors
are J.K. Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Richelle Mead, Tamora Pierce,
Robert Jordan, Raymond Feist, Scott Westerfeld, Sophia Kinsella,
Lynne Ewing, and so many more.
Never
give up! The only end of the road is the one you create for yourself.
BK: What are you
currently working on?
A
new series! I'm still brainstorming, but I'm going to switch gears
and write a fantasy.
BK: Where can readers
connect with you?
Wherever
they want! Here are some links:

Scorch Blurb:
“All it did was remind
Kira that time was running out. That she needed to choose. Or a lot
more than a forest would burn. The whole world would crumble."
Aldrich escaped…again.
Tristan forgot…everything. And Luke, well, Luke was getting more
than a little impatient. But those were the least of Kira’s
concerns, because something else happened in England—something she
was trying desperately to forget. A wedge of evil had lodged itself
in her heart, a little black hole had nestled into her flames, and it
wasn’t going away—not anytime soon…and maybe not ever.
Scorch is the fourth and
final book in the thrilling Midnight Fire Series. It is approximately
